Bug#1069697: lintian: debian-changelog-line-too-short CVEs
Richard Lewis dixit: >would it make a difference if the somewhat ambiguous line "CVEs" was >changed to "Fixes the following CVEs:" ? It’s very much not ambiguous, as the entire entry is a list of fixes, that’d be reducing the signal:noise ratio (besides this part of the changelog is copy-pasted from the upstream release announcement). I find that lintian is overly opinionated here. I could agree, were this just a single line (given the tag’s stated purpose), but not for multi-line or lists. bye, //mirabilos -- Solange man keine schmutzigen Tricks macht, und ich meine *wirklich* schmutzige Tricks, wie bei einer doppelt verketteten Liste beide Pointer XORen und in nur einem Word speichern, funktioniert Boehm ganz hervorragend. -- Andreas Bogk über boehm-gc in d.a.s.r

Bug#1069697: lintian: debian-changelog-line-too-short CVEs
Package: lintian Version: 2.117.0 P: openjdk-8-doc: debian-changelog-line-too-short CVEs [usr/share/doc/openjdk-8-doc/changelog.Debian.gz:4] The changelog in question is: * New upstream release * CVEs - CVE-2024-21011 - CVE-2024-21085 - CVE-2024-21068 - CVE-2024-21094 * Security fixes […] I find this a little opinionated anyway, but here not quite appropriate as the changelog “line” spans more than a physical line. Maybe, if you won’t consider the space until the next /^ \* / a “line”, then at least exclude itemisations from that tag? Thanks.
